49 Chapters 48-49 Protection_1

He Tiantian was industrious, which lightened Aunt Liu's load a lot, making her very happy.

Aunt Liu was overjoyed and said, "Then we must put in extra effort today, finish early, and rest early."

The two reached the middle of the hillside and found the area where they were to cut grass today and began to get busy.

This time, they weren't cutting a basketful and taking it down the mountain one by one; instead, they cut a large pile all at once, spread it out on the ground to dry, and by midday, it could be half-dried. That way, they could fit more grass of the same weight and volume.

The four baskets cut in the morning were more than the five baskets from before, and the efficiency was higher. Once they were taken to the bottom of the mountain, they just needed to be dried a bit more before being stacked together. After the autumn harvest, they could be chopped into small sections, bagged in sacks, and stored in the house as fodder for the livestock during winter.
